Senryu 9 - Clay

in the potter's hands
                                           a lump of clay is transformed...
                                                    an object of worth

Nick Bagnall Date: 9/19/2012 6:22:00 AM I like that one, feels like it has proper secondary meanings, the potter as a mentor, the clay is a pupil, very nice. Login to Reply

Russell Sivey Date: 9/18/2012 8:33:00 PM This is a truly amazing Senryu Kim! I really enjoyed the creativity you exuded within this incredible poem, a fine example of a clever write! The clay assumes the form the potter desires, from which it gains its worth, a beautiful sentiment! I just love this piece, Great Work!! Login to Reply
